Approximation methods are widely used in many fields and many techniques have
been published already. This comparative study presents a comparison of LOWESS
(Locally weighted scatterplot smoothing) and RBF (Radial Basis Functions)
approximation methods on noisy data as they use different approaches. The RBF
approach is generally convenient for high dimensional scattered data sets. The
LOWESS method needs finding a subset of nearest points if data are scattered.
The experiments proved that LOWESS approximation gives slightly better results
than RBF in the case of lower dimension, while in the higher dimensional cas
